Well the wife and daughter are away for the weekend and I had yesterday off so no honey-doo for me this weekend. I had been working on a little generic pattern and yesterday I cut this out as I wanted to see if the pattern as I had it would work on the bandsaw. I didn't envision it being this skinny as this was to be a test for a larger piece. I cut it out and man was he skinny. I sat down and just started carving it and I decided halfway through to make it a farmer. I think it turned out ok. He is about 4 inches tall without the base. The blank was cut out of a 2 x2 basswood and it was carved on the base. Finished in acrylics, BLO and satin lacquer. You can view it here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/id5.html� Thanks for looking as always!
